BRAZZAVILLE, Republic of Congo — An Ilyushin-76 cargo plane owned by a private company crashed Friday near the airport in Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of Congo, killing at least one person, an aviation official said.

The Soviet-made cargo plane belonged to Trans Air Congo and appeared to be transporting merchandise, not people, the official said. He demanded anonymity because he was not permitted to speak to the press.
